I'm looking for something similar to a gumstix board but then more affordable. What I need: Smallish board with Ethernet, SPI, GPIO, 3.3V Capable of running a recent linux kernel that has IPv6 Free toolchain (gcc) I don't care much about processor architecture. I just need something simple to do a proof of concept of an 3.3V SPI device connected to the IPv6 internet. Can anyone recommend a development board with these specs? S.
Looking for simple board to run linux

In the US you can get them from microcontrollership.com. Here's something under $100, but I've no experience or information on the vendor. They don't take credit cards (only wire transfers), so that may be a concern: http://www.sklep.propox.com/index.php?d=produkt&id=2119 -- Grant

It's 108 CAD from Digikey. I think I'll order one. S.

I think there would be a real market if someone wanted to do a beagleboard+ type of thing with on board ethernet.

It looks pretty good. USB, dual-Ethernet, serial, SD, lots of IO. For 108 CAD, which is extremely reasonable. In this case I don't really care that it is a new architecture (AVR32) but I would have preferred something ARM based like the beagle board. S.
